Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9820418A1] A process control system is described using a plurality of autonomous process cells. Each process cell has data inputs, data outputs, processing logic, state variable, and link data specifying the other cells that provides its inputs. A scheduler triggers the plurality of cells as a whole to update their state. Cell may be recursive and contain child cells, at least some of which are linked to the parent cell. The cells can be subject to mutation and a non-brittle program language is provided for the logic within the cells in order to stop mutation causing a cell to cease to function. Cells within a neural network are provided with both fast and slow feedback mechanisms to improve their responsiveness to action reinforcement cycles. A mediated peer-to-peer network is described for use to simulate a tessellated virtual environment.
